Paleo Cinnamon Roll

I have been on and off the Paleo diet for a while. I am not very strict with it as some of the ingredients are not readily available. But for November, I decided to go "sober" and thought it would be a good distraction to learn new Paleo recipes. I have never had a Cinnamon roll since I started this on-off Paleo diet (have done cupcakes and banana bread before) so I decided to give it a go.
Cake
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of fine grain salt
Pinch of nutmeg
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk (recipes say to use almond milk but I used regular, full cream milk)
1 ½ tablespoons honey/maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil/melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
1 tablespoon butter (recipes recommend coconut butter but that is not available to me)
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon lemon juice
In a mug, mix all ingredients for the cake, adding the baking powder last. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, make the icing by mixing in a bowl. Drizzle over the mug cake.
The mug is good for one, or two people if you are cutting calories.
Good stuff.
